I am planning to move to JA Feb 2014 or there abouts my partners out there as a red plate taxi driver doing quite well. I know jobs are hard to come by so i was thinking of selling sandals and dressy shoes for the ladies in Maypen Clarendon nuff parties go on those sides and they seem to be very fashion concious so i am hoping this will do really well i've bought the first batch of shoes very cheap and they look really good my partners neice says she has good contacts so i'm hoping this will do really well i'm going for 2 wks in Feb 2013 to see how it goes. Do you think this is a good idea or will i end up with loads of unsold shoes ????

Jamaicans love very cheap stuffs and they are not willing to pay so much for anything....you can give it a shot and see for yourself. Goodluck

I'm from May Pen. It's a rough place. I'm sure you'll have competition as the place is over-crowded, both in the market & on the outside. It's a mad house. If you decide to go through it, make sure you have the proper vendor papers, or the police can take your stuff. May Pen was a nice place years ago, but the crime rate has increased over the years. However, I've heard from relatives that the police is trying to clean it up.

House to house an sundays might be a better option. sell for no profit to build a customer base, then start charging more afterwards. Sell more than just sandals.
